Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Tune in on Thursday, February 15, 2018 12 Noon EST, 6 PM CET!

The escalating drumbeat against China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) coming from Trans-Atlantic geopolitical institutions and their political puppets, such as U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, is a testament to the growing influence of Xi Jinping’s “win-win” diplomacy. What Helga Zepp-LaRouche first identified as a “New Paradigm” has gained adherents worldwide, as the “New Silk Road Spirit” is contagious. Nations in Africa, Asia and South and Central America, which have been looted under IMF and World Bank austerity demands, are turning to the BRI, which is demonstrating that real economic progress is possible. The BRI process offers hope that poverty can be eliminated worldwide, as it has been dramatically reduced in China.

Instead of celebrating this process, or joining it, the Trans-Atlantic elites are up to their old tricks, in a desperate effort to prevent the New Paradigm from succeeding. Their old paradigm, of regime change and wars, of deploying terror operations, of free trade deals combined with austerity that produce murderous economic devastation, continues, even as the basis for their survival has been severely weakened.

In the U.S., the regime change operation against President Trump stands exposed as a made-in-London coup attempt. New revelations coming from Senators Grassley and Graham are expected to show how deeply involved Obama administration officials — including Obama himself — were, in concocting the “Russiagate” fraud story. We are closer than ever to breaking this operation, which would free the President from the constraints imposed on him, to pursue the goals he campaigned for.

These developments, and more, will be the subject of Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s webcast this Thursday.

The release last Friday of the four-page memo, produced by the chair of the House Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Representative Devin Nunes, which details FBI corruption in the “Russiagate” fiasco, and the subsequent release of an eight-page memo by Senator Grassley, have evoked howls of rage and despair from those out to remove President Trump. As the authors of the memos have stated, there will be more to come. Former NSA technical director and whistleblower Bill Binney, who was himself a target of FBI persecution, said this has “opened a crack” through which the “corruption of the secret government” is now exposed.

The deeper issue posed by these developments is not just stopping the efforts of the anti-Trumpers to overturn the result of the 2016 presidential election. Putting an end to the disruption caused by the ongoing regime change operation will free Trump to fulfill the pledges he made during his campaign, and in his first months in office. These include, most significantly, ending U.S. involvement in the endless wars launched by Bush and Obama, through strategic cooperation with Russia; bringing the United States into the New Paradigm, in full cooperation with China’s New Silk Road; and ending the speculative swindles of Wall Street and the City of London, which have created an unsustainable debt and stock market bubble, which may be on the verge of popping NOW.

The Schiller Institute has led the campaign to bring the Trans-Atlantic nations into the New Paradigm. In the last months, the New Silk Road spirit has spread throughout Africa, Asia, Eurasia (including eastern and southern Europe) and South America, and is creating opportunities to bring peace to regions, such as the Korean Peninsula and the Middle East, which have been targeted for super-power conflict by the neo-cons, with their geopolitical insanity. Join us this Thursday, for the weekly Schiller Institute webcast, as Helga Zepp LaRouche, who has personally spearheaded the battle for the New Paradigm, will provide a strategic update, and what must be done to defeat the unilateralists and their drive for new wars.

The discussion at this year’s just-concluded Davos conference was shaped by the keynote address given last year, by China’s President Xi Jinping, and by the continuing development of the Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI). The presentation this year, by Chinese economic adviser Liu He, provided a rallying point for those attending who were not fooled by the cheerleading of the global stock market bubble, as he made clear that the model of China’s economic development, which has dramatically reduced poverty there, can be applied to accomplish that objective worldwide.

Much of the world is not just listening, but joining with China. It is now time for the United States to fully engage in the BRI.

President Trump has made improving relations with Russia and China a priority of his first year in office, despite desperate measures taken by the imperial oligarchy and the use of geopolitical machinations to stop him. As long as geopolitics defines the Trans-Atlantic response to China’s initiative, the danger of war increases. What is the perspective now, following Trump’s January 30 State of the Union address? What must be done to bring the U.S., and European nations, into the BRI? And what can be done to expand the mobilization, led by forces associated with the Schiller Institute, to defeat the coup being run against Trump?

These will be among the topics addressed by Helga Zepp LaRouche this Thursday.

As the evidence needed to shut down the London-Obama “Russiagate” regime change coup against President Trump is being pulled together and hopefully released to the public, the so-called neo-conservatives within and outside the administration are escalating war provocations against Russia and China. Trump’s stated intent continues to be to forge good, cooperative relations with Russia and China; those trying to remove him are driven by a desperate understanding that, if Trump succeeds in bringing the U.S. into collaboration with Russia and China, their old paradigm, based on geopolitical manipulation, and the wars which are an essential part of it, will be swept away, and the empire of worthless financial instruments and debt will be collapsed on their heads.

Russian and Chinese leaders have issued clear warnings of the dangers implicit in the insane “national security strategy” being pushed by the neo-cons, even while continuing to seek cooperative engagement with the United States, to address problems with North Korea, the Near East and Ukraine. The fantastic progress demonstrated by China’s fight to eradicate poverty at home, and the potential for real economic development of the world’s less-developed nations, through its global initiative, the New Silk Road, are rallying nations from Africa, South America, Asia and Europe into an unstoppable alliance.

The next days offer opportunities for building further momentum for the New Paradigm, from Trump’s appearance in the Swiss Alps at Davos, and in his January 30 State of the Union address, as well as in the meeting on Syrian reconstruction at Sochi. This is not the time to be a passive spectator, when so much is at stake. Join Mrs. LaRouche this Thursday, and become part of the dynamic, inspirational force consolidating the New Paradigm.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche made the following comments on Jan. 16, 2018.

Concerning the controversies around what President Trump did or did not say, we absolutely have to remain on the high ground, which means emphasizing Lyndon LaRouche’s “Four Laws” and that the United States must join the New Silk Road.

Now, what that actually means is that it should be obvious to anybody that you cannot solve the problem of immigrants in the United States, or the drug epidemic, without bringing development to the Central American and Caribbean countries in particular. There are many places which are not “shitholes,” but they are hellholes. For example, according to the FAO the level of chronic undernourishment, ie hunger, in Sub-Saharan Africa is 22.7% of the total population, which is the worst in the world. The second worst region is the Caribbean, where it averages 17.7%. But in Haiti}, an absolutely unbelievable 47% of people have permanent hunger, and 80% are living in poverty. And the whole Caribbean is very far from being a luxury cruise paradise: for the people living there, it’s a complete hellhole, as is most of Central America. [See Figures 1 and 2, which compare select physical-economic parameters of Haiti and El Salvador with Spain.]

Figure 1

Figure 2

The only way you can address that is, obviously, what China is already actively doing with their Belt and Road Initiative, for example in Panama, where they are now building a high-speed railroad from Panama City to the border with Costa Rica. And China is also the only country which is seriously helping Haiti, announcing a $5 billion plan to rebuild Port au Prince, the capital of Haiti.

So this requires the whole Belt and Road Initiative, not just one project or two. China has proposed on the highest level for Spain and Portugal to be bridges for the Belt and Road to Ibero-America and the Caribbean, and both Iberian governments have already agreed that they do not just want to be the western end of the New Silk Road, but they want to actively be the bridge to the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking nations in Ibero-America and also in Africa.

We are working right now on writing up this whole question of extending the New Silk Road into all the Americas, as part of our updated global study on “The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge:” to build a high-speed railroad from the southern tip of Ibero-America, Chile and Argentina, all the way through the Darién Gap and the Bering Strait, connecting with the Eurasian infrastructure program (see Figure 3).

Now, one of the big problems there, is a geopolitical leftover that a number of Central American and Caribbean countries still have diplomatic ties with Taiwan and not with the People’s Republic of China. Panama recently switched that and agreed to support the One China policy, and obviously this is a big concern for the Chinese, who are constantly confronted with efforts to not recognize the One China policy. As a matter of fact, they recently complained that Marriott Hotel and other firms are talking about Macau and Hong Kong and Tibet as “other countries,” as if they would not belong to China. So this is a question of accepting the sovereignty of China, which obviously has a lot to do with how they respond.

The situation is economically so severe that you cannot just try to build up from below, but you have to leapfrog and get the productivity level of this whole region up by orders of magnitude. There are obvious angles. For example, you have in French Guiana, which is actually not a sovereign country but a colonialist department of France to the present day, the European Space Agency’s launch site in Kourou, which is very close to the Equator. But then you also have the Brazilian Space Agency’s launch site, in a place called Alcantara, which is even closer to the Equator. These situations are not without problems, but they already represent a very important scientific capacity, and that could be made into a regional project, a science-driver for the entire Caribbean Basin region (see Fig. 4).

Figure 4

Then you have the expanded Panama Canal, the planned Nicaragua Canal, and, as Lyndon LaRouche has often stressed, if you build all of these canals, including the Kra Canal in Thailand, you are really talking about a single world ocean, which would eliminate many of the geopolitical chokepoints of the British.

So we have to really push this, that the United States must join the New Silk Road. This would include building major projects in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, including in Ponce on the southern coast of Puerto Rico, which could become a major port and shipping point for the Maritime Silk Road. Building a deep-water port there would open the whole transport corridors into the Gulf and East coasts of the United States. Connected with that, the Maritime Silk Road would do something similar in Mariel, Cuba, where there is also the plan to build a deep-water port. And since this is very close to the United States, it should all really be integrated into one big project.

In an article in {Consortium News} on January 11, Ray McGovern, leader of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) and a former high-level CIA intelligence analyst, wrote that it is evident to all except those blinded by their hatred for President Trump, that a “soft-coup” is underway, directed by British intelligence and its U.S. allies, to drive him out of office. The purpose of “regime change” in the U.S. is to preserve the geopolitical machinations of its coordinators, even if it means putting the world on a course toward nuclear war. The “missile alert” in Hawaii last week should be a reminder of how perilously close we are to nuclear annihilation.

The Schiller Institute has been joined by leaders of the VIPS in exposing this coup, in several recent public events in New York City. In his article, McGovern points to the importance of “former” MI-6 operative Steele’s fraudulent dossier in running the coup. McGovern calls on Congress to take on the “J. Edgar Hoover-style blackmail on steroids, enabled by electronic surveillance of just about everything and everyone….” As more evidence of FBI corruption is pouring out, he says that “Russiagate is becoming FBI-gate.”

Putting an end to the fraudulent attacks of Russiagate, which target not only Trump, but the leaders and nations of Russia and China, would open the door for full U.S. cooperation with the Belt-and-Road initiative. This would put an end to the era of confrontational imperial geopolitics, which is what China’s President Xi means when he speaks of “win-win” collaboration.

Mrs. Zepp LaRouche will provide a strategic update on the advance of this process, and what is necessary to achieve this desirable result on this Thursday’s webcast.

In opening a three-day visit to China, French President Emmanuel Macron declared that, with the reinvention of the ancient Silk Road, which he called a “treasure of civilization,” China “has accomplished a dream.” As China has lifted 700 million out of poverty, he said, the Chinese can now come to Europe, to help accomplish the same there. Remember, Macron stressed, the Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI) works both ways. “The ancient Silk Roads were never only Chinese. By definition, these roads can only be shared. If they are roads, they cannot be ‘one way.'”

With these words, Macron is echoing a call made a week earlier by Helga Zepp LaRouche on her weekly webcast, when she called on European governments to become active participants in BRI projects with China, to address the growing levels of poverty in Europe.. Mrs. Zepp LaRouche emphasized that, due to the economic policies of China’s President Xi Jinping, there are now many fewer people living below the poverty level in China than in Europe. She noted today that Macron’s message from China will send shock waves throughout the world, as it represents a reversal of policy. In particular, it puts Berlin and Brussels on notice, as these capitals remain stubbornly, and foolishly, resistant to the potential for cooperation with China’s “win-win” policy, which is overturning the imperial doctrine of geopolitics.

As the battle intensifies in the United States to defeat the neocons, with their hysterical and dangerous nostalgia for a disappearing unipolar world defined by geopolitical confrontation, Macron’s promotion of the “Silk Road Spirit” demonstrates that there is a new dynamic shaping policy in the world. The Schiller Institute, and Mrs. Zepp LaRouche personally, have been the leading advocates for this new paradigm.

For a strategic update on the implications of the transformation underway, join us for this week’s Schiller Institute webcast, featuring Helga Zepp LaRouche.

In a New Year’s greeting, Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp LaRouche concluded a summary of the outstanding issues to be addressed immediately in the New Year by stating that there is “reason for optimism for the coming years, because solutions do exist. Let us just implement them in a decisive way.” Those solutions begin with the global initiative by China, called the Belt-and-Road Initiative, she said, which in the last year has opened to include more than seventy nations.

Now, it is essential for the United States and the nations of Europe to join, as the Trans-Atlantic region is facing a new, larger financial crash, led by the corporate debt bubble which is threatening to blow, unless its economies shift from speculative bubbles to real physical production, especially in cutting-edge infrastructure technologies. The economic advances made by China in recent years demonstrate that this approach works, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, and creating a healthy optimism about the future. For the U.S. and Europe, this means it is now time to implement Lyndon LaRouche’s Four Economic Laws, which should serve as the basis for President Trump’s economic initiatives in his State of the Union address. Not surprisingly, those financial oligarchs who created this unresolvable speculative debt bubble are pushing geopolitical confrontations, to prevent the U.S. and Europe from participating in “win-win” cooperation with China and its expanding circle of allies.

During the latter part of last year, the Schiller Institute began the Thursday webcasts to provide its growing number of supporters a weekly update from Mrs. LaRouche, who has played a leading role in bringing the “Silk Road Spirit” to people who are otherwise held hostage by the Fake News media of the West. Join us this Thursday, and every Thursday — let’s make 2018 the year when geopolitical doctrine is rejected forever, and the New Paradigm is realized.

As we come to the end of a tumultuous year, the prospect of the consolidation of a New Paradigm of international cooperation is bright, one which can free the world from the dangers inherent in the strategic instability of imperial geopolitics. An unstoppable dynamic was introduced when China’s Xi Jinping inaugurated steps for creating a Silk Road process of land, sea and space collaboration — unstoppable, unless the forces of the old paradigm, centered in the City of London and Wall Street, succeed in their coup against the Trump presidency, in which case the world is on a short fuse to nuclear war and annihilation.

At the forefront of this dramatic shift has been the organization of the LaRouche movement, which, under the leadership of Lyndon and Helga Zepp LaRouche, has been providing a clear strategic direction away from the neocons preferred “unipolar” world order. Throughout the year, the Schiller Institute has held numerous international conferences, with Mrs. LaRouche speaking at events in China, throughout Europe and in the United States. In recent months, she has been presenting a weekly webcast, to provide clarity and vision, at a time when Fake News dominates media in the Trans-Atlantic world. The discrediting of the whole “Russiagate” narrative, has opened the door for more people to discover who is behind it, what is their intent, and what is the alternative to their destructive agenda.

Events in the next months will be crucial in deciding whether or not the United States will join with Russia and China in adopting the “win-win” vision of international cooperation at the heart of the Silk Road process. Join us this Thursday for an update on where the world is heading, and what you can do, to insure the success of a rapid transition to the New Paradigm.

In the recent weeks, a series of exposes, led by the circulation of LaRouchePAC’s dossier on Robert Mueller, the “Immoral Legal Assassin”, has emboldened those fighting against the coup in the United States, which was designed to overturn Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 election. A number of key operatives, working directly with Mueller, have been exposed as part of a web of criminality, with their marching orders coming directly from the highest levels of British intelligence. The leading role of the British, exemplified by the Christopher Steele/Fusion GPS “dodgy dossier,” which was financed by the Clinton campaign, is now the subject of hearings in Congressional committees, and has even become a topic of mainstream news coverage

Though the tide is turning against Mueller, the battle is not yet won. There are crucial strategic issues to be addressed by the Trump administration, including deepening the collaboration with Russia and China, and addressing the dangerous financial crisis in the Trans-Atlantic nations. As we look ahead to the New Year, it is clear that, if the right course is adopted in the days and weeks ahead, it is now possible to put an end to the genocidal foolishness embedded in the imperial doctrine of Geopolitics, a doctrine designed for the survival of the Empire, at the expense of the world’s population.

There is nothing more urgent today than to overturn the reigning geopolitical, unipolar world system, and replace it with a New Paradigm, based on each nation working for the benefit of all nations. Events of 2017 have proven that the efforts of the Schiller Institute, led by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, to bring the U.S. into the New Paradigm, are bearing fruit.

Join us for this Thursday’s webcast, when Mrs. LaRouche will present the strategy to bury, once and for all, the doctrine of geopolitics.
